Efficient Data Subset Selection for Continual Learning Under Concept Drift

Efficient Data Subset Selection for Continual Learning Under Concept Drift

In this study, researchers aimed to develop a new method for detecting concept drift in continuous learning systems. They used a simple neural network as their baseline model and tested it on two real datasets, Usenet1 and Usenet2, which contain messages about different topics. The researchers found that their data segment selection algorithm actually identified the core data segments and discarded those that had drifted. They evaluated the accuracy of their method using an exhaustive evaluation approach, where they evaluated all possible combinations of data segments and chose the one that resulted in the highest accuracy on the validation set. The results showed that their method achieved a high precision and recall rate, indicating its effectiveness in detecting concept drift.
